  • I've just had the missus's 5/6 year old Brompton 3speed serviced at our LBS.
    With a fair few things replaced (as they advised) it came to £220...bit shocked but then I do most of maintenance to my own bikes.
    Obviously expected to pay full retail for things but do some of these sound right?
    (hard to find prices online)
    Rear Bushing supply and fit = £30
    Rear Hinge Bush&spin kit = £22.50
    Brompton Fender disc x8 = £18.99

    Happy to put business their way but obviously don't want to be ripped off

  • They could not do the rear hinge and save you the money. The bike would then at some point fall apart when your missus was riding it, but hey.

    It's essential maintenance. The Brompton is a great piece of engineering but folding bikes have fundamental weaknesses and that's a biggie.
